Saeris Fane has learnt how to survive in the desert-like land she lives in with her brother. It's no easy life, but when she's caught stealing a gauntlet from one of the queen's guards it seems like her life is forfeit.

"Saeris Fane was twenty-four years of age when she died. Honestly, she should have died a lot sooner, but the girl never did know when to give up."

But instead of dying she inadvertently opens a gateway to another realm - a snow-covered Fae land. There she meets Kingfisher, a Fae Warrior who wants to use her to protect his people. He's also Saeris' only way home.

This romantasy has everything you need for an entertaining and pleasurable read:

• enemies-to-lovers
• fated mates
• morally grey MMC
• kick-ass FMC
• spicy romance

Also memorable side characters, evil vampires and some unexpected twists, along with quite a lot of action, fun banter and an adorable fox!

So, why not five stars? We only get Saeris' POV, so what Kingfisher's thinking is hard to know. It makes their chemistry a little less tangible for me as a reader. Not a huge deal, but enough for me to knock some off of my grade. I also think the ending is a bit abrupt. Despite it being over 600 pages long I would have liked to have a couple of pages more. The positive is that Hart doesn't leave us with a terrible cliffhanger; it feels alright to wait for the sequal!

Prompt 36 - a book with silver on the cover or in the title - July 22, 2025 - This fantasy novel mixes several different folklore concepts and creates something new. It's fun, intriguing, and really entertaining to read. I loved that it was in no way predictable.

I enjoyed reading the entire way. Once you start to get into the book and piece things together you will really enjoy it. You can also tell that the characters are actually thinking throughout the story, for that I don’t have anything bad to say.
